I could not find something I liked so I use a small notebook. It is divided into 3 sections, one I use to track wieght, exercise, and measurments. Another I use for my daily food log and the third is my journal section. It is helpful for me and a lot easier to have everything in one place. Also, its portable so i can track things better than if i was using an online version.

good luck

I just use an Excel spreadsheet. I don't keep track of liquids because I get enough in, but I have been tracking what I eat, the caloric value, my exercise for the day, and my weight. It's not fancy, just enough for me to show the progress I'm making and what has been working. If you have a smart phone, there is probably an app somewhere for it. Some people use websites like Fitday, etc., but I don't know if you can customize what you want to track. Pen and paper works too.

I had my surgery at True results and they give you a little journal to keep track. Ask your doctor's office-they might provide onw too:-)

do you have a LAP-Band or Realize band? I have realize and they have a website for us that we had to put the impant number in to use all the functions. One of them is a LOG...i log my multi vitamine, Fluid, foods, exercise, weight, measurements...etc. when I go to the docs or dietian i print it out or I can give them permission to view on the web (but I dont). its great. I wonder if Lap-band has something like it as well???

I use a notebook that I bought at the .99 cent store! Yuk Yuk:rolleyes:!

I log everything I eat what time I finish eating ( so I train the brain On the 30 min. rule) exercise, Vitamins, daily weight, pounds to goal, days to fill....everything! My ticker keeps track of my weight loss, and my journaling is all done on this lovely web site!

All for now

Peace out

Kelly:wink:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
